Purpose and Fitment

The presented window belongs to the Automotive Glass category and is dedicated for installation in the front right door of BMW U06 series vehicles. As a fixed side window (so-called quarter fixed glass), it works in conjunction with the main power window, completing the frame outline and stabilizing the door structure. Its placement in the front – right side zone means the element is designed for specific angles of the pillar, seals, and guides, which translates to proper alignment with the car body.

Technical Characteristics of AS2 Glass

Glass marked with the AS2 classification meets stringent standards for light transmission and mechanical resistance for side windows. It provides:

• an appropriate level of clarity, essential for visibility in mirrors and blind spots,
• controlled resistance to impacts from small road debris,
• a safe fracture pattern, limiting the risk of serious injury.

Thanks to this, the window fits well with the operational requirements of modern BMW bodies, maintaining proper optical and functional parameters.

Function in Door and Body Construction

The fixed triangular side window in the front door serves several important structural and functional purposes:

• stabilizes the door frame in the area of the exterior mirror and pillar,
• seals the space between the pillar and the movable window, reducing noise and air drafts,
• supports the proper operation of the power window mechanism by separating the guide zone,
• influences the aerodynamics of the side body and the acoustic comfort of the cabin.

An original window, matched to the specific geometry of the BMW U06 door, allows for the preservation of factory body lines and a cohesive look of the vehicle's side.

Original Origin and Condition

The part comes from the BMW OE line, meaning it was designed and manufactured according to the vehicle manufacturer's standards. As a used part, it retains its factory geometry and mounting method, which facilitates installation in place of a damaged window without the need for modifications. For many users, this is a sensible compromise between quality and repair cost, while preserving the original character of the car.

Selection by OEM Number and Purchase Security

When selecting side windows for a BMW, proper fitment to the specific body version, year, and door configuration is particularly important. Verification by OEM number and interchangeable part numbers helps reduce the risk of purchasing an ill-fitting part and avoids installation problems.
